Jeffrey Raymond McCombs

Jeffrey Raymond McCombs, age 48 of Arlington, Texas, passed away in the early morning hours of October 2, 20016 of a sudden heart attack. Although he died young, he lived a full life, packed with experience and wisdom many only dream of attaining. Jeffrey graduated from Sam Houston High School in 1985, then entered the United States Army, where he served in the 51st Chemical Company. He was a self-taught, skilled guitarist, who toured the state of Texas and beyond with loyal and caring band mates. When Jeffrey decided a career in music was too grueling a life, he went to college at the University of Texas, Austin; receiving a partial baseball scholarship for his pitching ability. After graduating with a degree in Philosophy, Jeffrey began his studies at Texas Tech University School of Law. Jeffrey was admitted to the Texas Bar in May of 1998. He was a named partner of Henderson, Smith, and McCombs until 2007, when he opened up his own law firm. Jeffrey was also admitted to the New Mexico Bar, where he made the high score on the Bar Exam. In his personal life, Jeffrey travelled extensively, enjoying trips throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia. He was a trained gourmet chef who enjoyed displaying his talent for fusing different cuisines to his friends and family. To pair with his cooking, Jeffrey celebrated fine beer and wine from all regions of the world, but had a particular soft spot for French wines, earning him the nickname “Froggy.” Jeffrey is survived by loving friends from all over the world who consider him a member of their families; his loving wife Eileen (Grimm) McCombs; his step-mother Bonnie Vick; step-father Jeff Fields; his sisters Melinda Dieringer and Rhonda McCombs; and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ronald McCombs and Linda Fields.

Funeral Service will take place on Friday, Oct. 7, at 5pm. All visitations and services will take place at Moore Funeral Home on Bowen Rd.
